    Signage in front of
    Craig T.

    Thanks for the recommendation my fellow Yelp Peeps. On Monday I took my father in law car for a safety check . I normally I go to a place on Dillingham Blvd . Although with all the construction of the rail I decided to head down on Queen St. I seen a few reviews on Yelp regarding Great People Auto . When I got there 4 cars already was ahead of me . To my surprise it goes by quickly . The service there is friendly quick and efficient. I believe they only do safety check because they have a system and it really works . There's a gentleman cones to your car and collects your registration and car insurance than he ask you tomorrow pull your car into the garage. Then the other guy tells you to turn on all your signals and the run down . Before you know it it's all complete than your backing your car out and on your way . Support local and local businesses

    Look for this sign

    Safety check in Honolulu, Hawaii... One of the ladies at church noticed that my Safety Check was expired. She advised me to go to the shop on Queen Street - no appointment needed. Well... there are several car shops on Queen Street. I was hoping that she meant Great People Auto because that's the one that popped up on my Yelp app when I searched for "Safety check". My friends (Angel, Irene, Jarod, Cecily, and Maggie) all wrote 5-star reviews for Great People Auto. It was a no-brainer to drive here. The signage is clear and visible. A nice man motioned for me to pull my car up into the shade. I stayed in my vehicle and handed over my car registration, last Safety check, and car insurance documents. He asked me to turn on my left signal, right signal, head lights, brake lights, windshield wipers, etc. It was so easy and just $26. Wow! What a deal! Another guy filled out some forms and placed the new sticker on my vehicle. After I received my documents back, I drove off... What a wonderful experience! Thank you for your efficiency!

    First timer here and I'm still shocked at how quick and efficient these guys were! There were 2 cars ahead of me when I arrived and still managed to get in and out in less than 15mins! Bravo gentleman

    Bring cash if you want to save $3. I didn't mind it.

    See all

    I had such a great experience with this AC shop. The first shop I went to turned me away twice, so…read moreI was really grateful when I called here and was told I could come right over. Thankfully, they weren't too far away. When I arrived, the gentleman immediately welcomed me, pulled my van into the shop, and started diagnosing the issue. The customer service I received was exceptional, and I truly appreciate how helpful and accommodating they were. I'm looking forward to having them service my vehicle and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for honest and great customer service. I also want to add that while my van was being diagnosed, the gentleman noticed my coolant was low and took the time to add more coolant for me. I truly appreciate that extra step. It showed me that they genuinely care about their customers and are willing to help beyond just the service they're providing. Small acts like that really stand out and mean a lot. Thank you for your kindness and for going above and beyond. I wanted to come back and update my review now that everything has been completed. I picked up my van, and the AC is working great! The repair was completed, and I'm very happy with the results. The final price was reasonable for the amount of labor involved, and I appreciate the work that was done. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service and look forward to bringing my van here again for future repairs and maintenance. Thank you, Auto Papa, for getting my AC back up and running!

ALL 3 of the employees on the premises avoided me. No one even bothered to look at me. I tried to approach nicely saying excuse me, and all of them don't talk back. They just gesture their hands at me to go away. Like I am seriously shocked... Horrible service. To note, I did go to the office first because I read the sign. But no one was there and I waited with no one coming in to help me. So that is when I tried to ask the employees. I've never been here before so I wasn't sure if someone knew I was waiting since I had no appointment, per the phone call. Well, now I know to never come here.

    Charles is the man! I had never used a mobile repair service before I reached Charles to provide a…read morefix for my headlamp. The brick & mortar shops were all giving me the run around and never could provide me with a quote to address the problem with my headlight. I figured my ballast was bad in the headlight however, it wasn't until Charles pulled the headlight did I see that rain and condensation had ruined the ballast and water literally poured out. The headlight configuration on my car didn't allow Charles to remove and replace the ballast without taking the plastic headlight cover off the car. Factory alterations are something he told me upfront he doesn't do, so we decide the best approach was to get a headlamp unit assembly replacement. Charles had quoted me a flat rate of $300 to replace the ballast which included removing part of the front bumper to access the headlamp unit in my car. Since he couldn't replace the ballast with the new one I provided, he put everything back together, charged me only $200 and told me he would come back out after I got the new headlamp and would only charge me the remainder of $100 on the original quote which I felt was more than fair since he essentially would be doing the same job again. I finally got the new headlamp assembly abut 1.5 weeks later, and texted Charles who immediately acknowledged my message and gave me a day he could come back and finish the job. He actually completed the job within 30-40 minutes and everything worked great, headlight is perfect. I can't say enough about how fair Charles is. He quotes you a flat rate for the services you need. He's a great guy, easy going and doesn't waste time, he gets right to work and gets the job done. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs mobile work at their home or place of business, I know I will be using him again. If you're tired of getting jacked up estimates from one of these shops and feel the inconvenience of having to drive to their place of business, Charles will bring his mobile services to you for a fraction of the cost!

So when you damaged the engine block back in October 1, 2025 and took 3 months to try and repair it... The oil is STILL leaking from the cracked AC bracket on the engine block after you said that you repaired it! I KNOW that you're receiving my text messages and you STILL don't call or respond! I've been so patient with you but since you're not responding or answering me, I called https://cca.hawaii.gov/rico/ RICO office to File a complaint against you and your company! The RICO Agent told me that you're NOT even A CERTIFIED LICENSED MACHANIC!!! The RICO Agent also filed my call. I guess it's my fault for not checking your background! Nevertheless, anyone who's operating a business in Hawaii, as a business owner, it's your responsibility to ensure and stand by your work! My wife's Highlander can't be driven and now NEEDS another Engine replacement! I've attached the video of the damage that you caused back in October 1, 2025... So I always like to support Local Businesses like yours and TOTALLY BUMMED THAT because I didn't check to see if you were a Certified Licensed Machanic, I LOST THE USE OF OUR HIGHLANDER and will need to get another replacement engine that might cost $5,000-$6,000.!!! ADVICE TO EVERYONE: Always check that the company you use is a Certified and Licensed person or Company to do the work they advertise!
